F-1000 SERIES
TURBINE FLOW METERS
DESCRIPTION
ONICON’s F-1000 Series is a family of insertion and
inline style turbine flow meters that provide accurate,
reliable flow measurement in a variety of applications.
The F-1000 Series flow meters are suitable for use
in pipes ranging in size from ¾” to 72” in diameter.
Each model utilizes ONICON’s patented electronic
turbine rotation sensing system and unique low mass
turbine design that is accurate over wide flow ranges
with excellent low flow measurement capability.
APPLICATIONS
• HVAC hydronic applications including chilled water,
heating hot water and water/glycol solutions
• Domestic/municipal water*
• Clean process water*
*Insertion meters only

FEATURES
Unmatched Price vs. Performance
Individually wet-calibrated, highly accurate
instrumentation at very competitive prices.
Simplified Hot Tap Insertion Design
This feature allows insertion meters to be removed,
by hand, without system shutdown.
Excellent Long Term Reliability
Patented electronic sensing is resistant to scale
and particulate matter. Low mass turbines with
engineered jewel bearing systems provide a
mechanical system that virtually does not wear.
The Dual Turbine Advantage
Dual counter-rotating turbines with mirrored
helixes reduce the effects of the most common
type of flow distortion, the swirl caused by bends
and elbows. This reduces the upstream straight run
requirements in some applications.
Programmable with Built-in Diagnostics
The USB interface makes field programming simple.
Advanced diagnostics provide real-time data from
the meter.
Bluetooth® Connectivity
Optional Bluetooth® interface enables wireless
access to real-time data for fast commissioning and
advanced diagnositcs.
CALIBRATION
All F-1000 Series flow meters are wet calibrated in
a flow laboratory against standards that are directly
traceable to National Institute of Standards and
Technology (N.I.S.T.). A certificate of calibration
accompanies every meter.
